The Data Packet With Type-0x96- Returned Was Misformatted [updated] -

The error typically triggers at the after hardware CRC has already passed.

Many protocols include a CRC or simple XOR of all bytes. Compute the expected checksum from the received header+payload. If it mismatches, the packet was corrupted in transit. the data packet with type-0x96- returned was misformatted

If the protocol is proprietary, consider reverse-engineering the expected format by looking at successful packets (if any). The error typically triggers at the after hardware

if (p->len != sizeof(Packet96) - 2) // subtract type and len fields log_error("Length mismatch for type-0x96: expected %d, got %d", sizeof(Packet96)-2, p->len); return false; the data packet with type-0x96- returned was misformatted
